Liverpool Discussion Thread

A great advert for the game with some proper direct football so well done to both teams.

We looked shambolic at the back and again wasteful up the top end thought the substitution wasn’t great we didn’t need another forward on at that time

Brentford are ok a little overrated IMO doubt city would struggle to cope with them but as said long way ahead but we really do need to take more chances

Good game for the neutral. Defending a little woeful at times. Good chances missed to put the game away. Will need to be better next week home to Citeh. Still it's a point more than some got yesterday.

should have won that game no question, their goalie had a stormer. miiseed too many chances again and some sloppy defending. good game to watch for the neutrals, brentford look a fair team and could cause some of the better teams a few problems

I like Brentford a lot. Don't have the most talented players in the world but they work hard on their system, their tactics and set pieces. Sounds easy in hindsight but you know you're never gonna beat VVD in the air, so just load your target men to the back post where he's not present and take your chances against the less physical full backs. Worked a treat to be fair, though we should have been alive to it and had a midfielder doubling up at the back post when they were in crossing positions. Should have won by 2 or 3 clear goals really though. Couple of sitters missed but that's football. Still sitting pretty right now.

vvd will be nowhere near peak fitness and strength,things will get better at the back

Nothing but admiration for Brentford, as a neutral I hope they have a very good season

brents were v good,in a fine gane

Roger Hunt RIP - YNWA

Before my time but legendary! RIP

RIP

Curtis Jones Class

Rip to a reds legend 285 goals, and a world Cup winner. Hardly ever injured, old school hard guy

Karius would be proud of this.

ya cant beat a good ole fashioned romp

lou you surprise me,roger was just before my time but i never had him down as a hard guy,more a v smooth striker(not saying you're wrong,just my impression down the years)

Don't think he means hard as in Norman Hunter type - but he was strong. 61/62 season he played 41 of 42 games and score 41 goals- we won the league by eight points when it was 2pts for a win. Absolute legend and a very nice humble bloke. The lads didn't let him down tonight.

crys,lou said old school hard guy....anyway nae matter,great servant for us no doubt

Paisley said years ago that he was hardly ever injured, and as tough as old boots to coin an old cliche

Will give him a good send off Sunday

lou yer awfullllllllllllllllllllll

Great result last night with an obvious outstanding performance by Curtis, however thought Fabinho immense again. You would think it hard to fault a 5-1 away win in Porto but I found the final ball at times last night frustrating and was pretty relieved the second went in before half time. As said Roger Hunt will get a great send off on Sunday home to citeh and happy to say I will be there.

not landing 'arry is looking more and more a clanger of immense proportions for pep

Yep

Don't have to be a defender to be hard guy rom, plenty of strikers out there who can look after themselves.

course there are lou

Some second half that. Thought we were pretty poor first half. 2 very good goals. Mo's being a worldie. Always a bit gutting not to win after leading, especially twice but a fair result imo. Milner very lucky to stay on. And just when we thought Fabinho gonna tap in the winner. Football eh. Bl00dyhell!

hgs bang on,city 2nd bit lucky,fab just chip it,fck i never miss sitting here

was just looking to shed 400 ffff sovs sitting here in my umwarm hovel

and we all know robbie is short of a sheckel

more talk,on otb am this morning about gerrard winding up at Liverpool,where does this guff come from?he was a fine player for us well BIGGGGGGGGG FFFFF DEAL

Would imagine Gerard will be very tempted by a Newcastle offer

mu sticking with olly and the plan,maybe lvg left his plan in a drawer n Ollys just found it,if so they are to be feared,think on

Hey Rom - just noticed my original post about the Robbie Fowler podcast has been removed.

crys,this is still there

Ye saw that - the other one had prices on - they must think I was drumming up business

haha,yeah robbies hurting for money alrreeet-as if,so is it a scam site or what,cant bring myssen to look(really went off RF when he was giving graeme le saux stick,wont describe what he did but it was fff disgusting)

He gave a new meaning to goal line sniffing

gawd yeah another of robbies finest hours

fowler,knuckle ruddock story;players used to joke and it got a bit out of hand,NR cut up a new pair of shoes of RF (paid hundreds)...news gets around...NR was going into a club,the bouncers got hold of him-pulled him aside,threatened him

i hated ruddock,how low had we sunk with him there

Rom - when I think of my hero Roger Hunt and his modesty and dignity. The hangers on stink.

crys,yes Roger had an aura of integrity and as i say he was before my time,but you do get a sense of what a players about even after youve missed him in the flesh

orrible early one sat'

International breaks are a total pain in the ar$e and now we've got Brazil playing 1.30 a.m. - wtf is that about? Fkin FIFA gob$h!tes

yup vid,int breaks are like a black cloud fkn looming and as is the way of it most of our squad are hauling their sorry a***** all around the globe

orrible indeed. New manager syndrome to tackle aswell.

when you've got a situation where a manager cant pick players because of the timing of international games then it brings into question the whole integrity of the league. Why should Watford benefit from and the other clubs fighting relegation dont

Im sure someone will mention about big squads but thats bollx

Jesus lads can't believe we've not had a single comment on here after a 5-0 away win.
Do we need another thread or is there only 3 or 4 of us on here now?
We were irrestible today and Mo scored another worldie and no one has a comment - hope we don't fcuk up his new contract negotiations.

Superb performance

Trent sublime

Mo Genius

Matip up there with Millie as best free transfer of all time

Not been on last couple of days. Sublime at times and Mo has to be up there for best in the world at present. Crunch game next week and I am away so please do the bizzo and hopefully the thread full of even more plaudits!

we're all tooo busy pinching ourselves to type

next sunday,dont care what form were in/theyre in,take nowt for granted Jurgen

if we wack them it cold be a special one repeat,spanish archer for shin99

could*

Time to show our Class 2nd half

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U_PUbQGA4U

Tommy Lawrence. Apologises if already posted.

Strange feeling after that.  Great result.

Good result

simone Scum

We rode our luck there - Naby just hasn't kicked on. Referee was brave and fair although they won't see it that way - hope he had a good getaway driver

strange game - great result

the midfield wasnt balanced in the first half for an away game against the spanish champions - wasnt Naby's fault - what a goal

thought the decisions levelled themselves out

Lemar deemed not to be interfering with play even though he jumped over the ball and prevented Matip from clearing the ball
The Griezman red card has and always will be a red card
Was really worried about the pen - was a bit of contact , was wrong side. even though he fell down like a sack of sh5t

anyway lets get the win at anfield and qualify early

Pretty much exactly how I saw it, too, Rothko.  Really didn't think their pen would get overturned, not because it was a stone-waller, but because over here it wouldn't have been considered an obvious error.

In hindsight, and I know it would have been a play completely out of leftfield (and granted that they'd barely had a kick prior to them scoring), I suspect we would have had a far more relaxed evening if Fab had have come on 20 mins in.  I did think we were chancing it leaving things as they were till half-time, particularly as Atletico came to life like a wounded beast.

vouch a few scores plz,only for fun, nowt would surprise me,0-4 for mine

taken 13/10 away win

drag 13/10 is a home win,away teams score comes second arf arf

13/10 xmas come early

No Fab is a concern.  Jota in for Mane, Konate in for Matip.

Think both teams will score.  3-3 wouldn't shock me.

Some players 0-4 Team

Top class bluenose style booing

eazzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy monet

We were very, very good, and they're far worse than I realised.

Hopefully we're not the final nail in the Ole coffin.

5-0 ... 5 fckin 0 and we stopped ffs but 5 fkin 0 is ok lol.
Dragon you didn't let me have any other away win - gutted but

Nice

wow what a result

and we didnt even play well

haha,this tickled me.......Micktrick

You had one job Liverpool, one job. Win 0-6 and Everton would have gone above United...

ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THE BARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

There were lows under David Moyes, some lost afternoons under José Mourinho and Louis van Gaal. But nothing quite so deathly, so free of structure, love, basic competence. Factor in that United can field four of the top five best‑paid players in the league and it seems fair to ask if there has been a worse performance since this club were relegated in the 1970s. What does it take to accept that this is simply becoming a humiliation for everyone involved, an endless trauma. We are moving into alien territory here.

above from the guardian

What a fabulous result.

andddd we have the cherry,neil *** ****** ** **** custis,go neil

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDc_tk7tSog

neil thought Ollys appointment was the right one,wd neil

He wasn't alone rom. Way out of his depth.

He had the fans fooled for a little while

hgs,i know,just pure sentiment/scmaltz over any reasoned thought,logic

even this delay(in Oles leaving-if he does leave) is telling us as pool fans what we wanna hear,that utd arent really concerned about being at the top table,the revenues will keep rolling,alls well

He might hopefully find another result soon to get another extension.

hopefully he goes on a six match winning run now

haha you boyz is crewell,Ole looked haunted

just watched the gary nev,sounnes carra discussion,g nev has lost all perspective on whats going on

His priority just seems to be to not kick his mate (too much) when he's down.  I felt most of what he was saying was based on a belief (his understanding of the situation) that the board would back him until the end of the season, almost blindly.  When Sunday has changed the thinking on that or not remains to be seen.

*whether, not when

wouldnt surprise me if g nev is not privy to a hell of a lot thats going on

gary neville is a joke, not a cue what to say but to defend the indefensible. it was cringworthy listening to him and comparing this to his 0-7 pasting in spain

i see the salford projects going well to Gary

just get the feeling every time i see him that gary doesnt really like being gary

ill flag this again,if anyone hasnt seen it,the audience with roy keane,gary nev,Joe from otb am(sorry dont know Joes surname)Keane sitting there like fkn buddha just getting his a*** kissed for 2 fff hours
